Bardo: How Do We Write About the In-Between?

  • The Rubin Museum of Art 150 West 17th Street New York, NY, 10011 United States (map)

Bardos are junctures at which the possibility for awakening, or liberation, is amplified. How can we navigate bardo periods of transition and come to terms with change?

Scholar and poet Dominique Townsend will lead a conversation with two vital contributors to the Tibetan literary landscape, Ann Tashi Slater and Tenzin Dickie. Slater will describe her great-grandfather’s instrumental role in bringing The Tibetan Book of the Dead to the West, and Dickie will reflect on the act of writing as an illustration of the bardo.
